Abstract
CENOBIO-NARCIZO, Francisco J. et al. An introduction to the life course approach and its use in pediatric research: main concepts and methodological principles. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2019, vol.76, n.5, pp.203-209. Epub Mar 13, 2020. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.19000007.
Since its inception, the life course approach has been widely used in the socio-demographic research and sociological studies. The use of this perspective in health research has spread for some years, although its use in pediatrics has been limited. This work presents the main concepts of the life course approach and some methodological principles for the development of research from this perspective. In addition, a series of research projects that have used this approach as a conceptual basis in their design and implementation are included, as well as some sources of information that can be used for the development of research since this conceptualization in Mexico.
